Divx Dual Screen

[JeffM]

Ok brains, I want to be able to show several DIVX formatted videos on our screen, one right after another. I can't find anything to allow this to happen. I can get Easyworship to work since I have loaded the CODEC but this will be one video after another to play on its own. Even then not all videos play.
I can get WMP to work but not on the second screen.
The DIVX player works great but no dual screen support.
Winamp won't even play DIVX.
I'm lost.

I wonder if Screen Monkey would do what you want?

I know vlc will let you open all the files in a specific directory, and I can't imagine it won't play divx. You can also set it to automatically open on a specific screen-just not sure about having controls on a screen other than the display screen, and/or automatically opening full screen.

Anyone else out there know?

Maybe screenmonkey?

I went the Screen Monkey route. I can load Divx files into it, they will play but it becomes a little unstable. Can't get it to reload once saved, some of the videos once played you can't replay. Just not real reliable with Divx. I wish it would work, now that I have figured Screen Monkey out it would be a dream to use it. I have just tried Ace Divx Player and it is real close to Winamp in its layout. It plays the Divx files but have not put it on a machine that has dual video.

Send me an email or PM and I would love to help!

With v3 to replay a clip once it has been played you hold down the Ctrl key and then click on the clip again. This will then replay it from the start. Sorry this is a bit cryptic. I intend to make it more obvious in the next version.

There are a few issues with saving and loading which again I intend to fix in the next version.

When you say unstable I think of crashing or errors, did this happen or where you just referring to the problems above? If the software did crash then please send me the event log and I try to get back to you within a few days.

With Screen Monkey and Divx if I loaded more than 12 or so it just wouldn't always play and caused it to lock up. Could have been a memory issue, not sure. What I did find was Ace Divx player. It's free and you can drag the video to your second screen and lock the size. I did this at a Valentines dinner and played about 4 hours of Divx video without any issues. Has a look similar to Winamp. www.gustosoft.com/divx-player
